* The design on Spike's Absinthe t-shirt was drawn from a poster that is by Madame Talbot's Victorian Lowbrow. At the time this comic was made I thought that this imagery was an actual Victorian advertisement, and I want to give credit where credit is due for her beautiful artwork. This comic was made for fun only and is not being sold. It's totally not for any kind of profit. :D

Very nice! Good graphics, interesting set up and Spike's going to be a Daddy. More please.

Wow. Just wow. Incredible art and intriguing story. My inner fanfic ho' craves to find out what happened to Spike.

[riccadonna.livejournal.com]

Very nice beginning! How long does it take you to draw all that? Do you do it with one of those graphic tablets?

Love, love, love what you did here. Your artwork is so amazing! You caught him perfectly. I was staring at the pictures for minutes.

Can't wait to see, where you'll take the story. Like the idea that Spike would hook up with a pregnant girl that he finds cool.

Great look to this, I love that cover!

i love the word preggers.

Your artwork is beautiful, and I like your Spike-voice! Especially love the frame of him smoking...and the phrase "Spikelet or Spikette."

[lovelikeadrug.livejournal.com]

seriously. "spikelet." freakin' awesome!

[filippin.livejournal.com]

Absolutely, positively *awesome*... I'm downright speechless, and very, very thankful. :-)

This is just GORGEOUS! Really beautiful. Not just Spike but all the rest of the art as well. Bravo!

holy freakin' crap! u drew this?! awesome!

Wow! Stunning, stunning. Your art blows me away.
You draw Spike so beautifully of course, but your backgrounds and details are gorgeous and I love the layouts.
I particularly love pages 1& 2. I love Spike in the alley, love the graffiti and whole look of it. Love that Spike has a cardboard box with his stuff in it. It just kinda seems so right.
On page 2 I adore your smoke tendrils, they are beautiful and makes me think of that firey cover for Spike After the Fall. The last panel is gorgeous. I love your colour palette and all the weird and quirky things - the tree looks like candy floss, the merman is yummy, the floating turtle and fish are so cute - is that a baby Betta George? Is Spike hallucinating from the absinthe? ( though, to be a kill joy, science today says it's not a hallucinogenic, but it's more interesting to assume it is...)

And although I love your colours, I'm liking the black and white very much. Some of my fave comics are in black and white.

I love Ursula. I wonder what she's made for Spike. I love that she's pregnant too. This months Diva mag ( leading UK lesbian magazine) has a gorgeous front cover of a nearly naked pregnant woman with her partner and displaying her bump in all it's glory. I'm not at all maternal, but she is so beautiful and sexy.

By the way, thanks for that link to Madame Talbot's Victorian Lowbrow. What an amazing site to explore. I've fallen in love with the Mourning Skull dolls and Raven Death Mourning dolls! :o)

p.s.
The cover and page 1, when you click for full size they have a little plus sign that can enlarge it even more. But unfortuneatly page 2 & 3 don't so I have to peer closely at the screen to read it. Do you have them in a higher resolution like the 1st two? Though this was a while ago and I'm sure you must be too busy to deal with this just for little old me. ;o)
